Shame on you, music board:

I saw them 5 or 6 times

Shot Down From Ecuador Junior
Googled this name because it's interesting. Apparently a quote from a Mary Tyler Moore episode. Still not sure what it means.
Shot Down In Ecuador Jr is the name of a hip, trendy, '70s boutique that Mary and Rhoda go to and feel unhip and old

I've never heard of the band

Isosceles Popsicle

They played at Fun Fair Park
I believe their antecedent was this band, who made what must be the greatest white R&R record to come out of BR:

The Basement Wall - "Never Existed"

Lower Chakras
Human Rays (Bill Davis from Dash and Tim Parrish from Chakras)

shite Dogs lived across the street from me on Violet Street so I got to hear them practice all the time....they really were shite!

Ants Climbing a Tree
This was Gino Luti and Hans van Brackle's acoustic band after US Times broke up....have the US Times been mentioned yet?

As already mentioned :
Shot Down Over Equador Jr.
Dick Nixons

This long Interview with the Dick Nixon's is pure dada and very entertaining after a few beers.
